Is it? What's the use case of being able to create empty directories you can't use? Why allow their creation in the first place then? > > + (void)configfs_setattr(dentry, &ia); > > No need for (void), here, right?

That I don't know, but it's unlikely to break anything, since it's virtually impossible to use as it is now. If non-root creates the directory, it's currently root-owned, so can only be used by root (or something with appropriate caps). Something with capabilities will be able to use it even if it is no longer owned by root.
